Four Cakes — Fine Art

Four Cakes - 1996 shows a row of four cakes standing close together. Each cake has a thick layer of frosting with soft pink and cream tones. The shapes look solid and the paint sits on the picture plane in bold blocks.

This fine art print uses a matte paper so the painted surfaces hold their weight without shine. A light frame on a dark wall makes the pink tones stand out, while a wood frame beside a table keeps the scene close to the objects themselves.

On a kitchen wall near the stove, the four cakes read as a quiet row of shapes. From the doorway you see the broad colour bands, and near the counter you notice the edges where one cake meets the next.
